Jeff Wells works in a mixed practice where he treats both farm animals and house pets, with the occasional exotic thrown in. Jeff Wells, DVM wrote an interesting and informative book about animal care, I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a book about pets.Download Or Read PDF All My Patients Have Tales: Favorite Stories from a Vet's Practice Free Full Pages Online With Audiobook.Īll My Patients Have Tales is a charming, funny, and engaging collection of stories in the great tradition of All Creatures Great and Small by the late James Herriot. ![]() If you cannot donate your time to help with the care of homeless animals then perhaps your donations will be there for solid groups that are both non-kill as well as spaying and neutering which if done, will help with the over population and homelessness of animals. Donations to local organizations in your area has got to be a win-win for all. If I had a wish for pets here in the USA and other places it would be that every animal would have a Forever Home and would always be cared for. It has left a mark on him but after almost three years he has come to know that he is loved and cared for and he is safe with us. I would say that his six months before moving in with us were not good ones and that he was abused and not well cared for. He is very different from our other little loves. ![]() Now we have Taz our little three year old Maltese. Our years with them are still looked at as wonderful and though they have been gone now for about five years we miss them every day. Myron crossed the Rainbow Bridge when he was ten and Babydoll when she was eleven. Myron & Babydoll were with us for many years. We started out even, none of us having experience but we quickly got acquainted. They were about 11 weeks old when we brought them home. ![]() We got our first two dogs, a brother and sister from the same Maltese litter. His books have sold over 200 million copies worldwide, and over a dozen have been adapted into. My husband and I got a late start when it comes to pet ownership. John Michael Crichton was an American author and filmmaker. Wells also made the reading a lot of fun while learning about the pets and their antics.Īnyone who has owed a pet knows how wonderful they are and how much they can add to your life. There was much to be learned in the book about the medical of animals but Mr. I am so glad I went ahead and read the book as it was very different. Knowing all that I almost did not read Jeff Wells book thinking it was probably very much the same. I had recently read a book by another vet and did not find it all that interesting, thought it was written by a professional for other professionals instead of a book for pet lovers. I have read so many books about animals, dogs are a real favorite for me and there are many wonderful books about dogs. Other than the grammatical distractions and a paucity of detail, I found this book worth the read. Maybe he meant glared? He talks about one of his colleagues smirking at his inexperience, and another sneeringly asking him a question, implying a level of unfriendliness that was not in keeping with his descriptions of them. For instance, when a owner stabbed his finger into an area that Wells had just cleaned in preparation for surgery, Wells said that he leered at him. He uses words such as 'sneer', 'smirk' and 'leer' quite frequently as discriptors and more often that not, they are clearly not used properly. The only real criticism I would offer is that Wells does not seem to know the meaning of certain words. But once I had managed to stop comparing the two vets, I enjoyed these short stories very much, although at times I wished they were not quite so short. This book is written along the same lines - insecure vet meets contrary animals with insensitve owners - but Jeff Wells does not have the same level of writing skills of a James Herriot. I think I would have enjoyed this book a lot more if, years ago, I had not read very similar books written by James Herriot. ![]()
